InBetweening America

About This Movie

InBetweening America, from 2001, is this fascinating animated piece that's all about morphing American icons into one another. It’s not just a visual treat—there’s this underlying commentary about the country's diversity that really resonates. The animation style, tied to Saul Steinberg's New Yorker cover art, feels playful yet thoughtful. The pacing is smooth; everything flows nicely as you watch these transformations happen. It’s Candy Kugel's first film, and you can see her early exploration of inbetweening—a technique often used in commercials. The practical effects are charmingly simple but effective, showcasing a unique blend of nostalgia and commentary. It’s definitely a curious artifact of animation history, worth a look for collectors and fans alike.
